Goldfinch

Gallery: AvianPosted September 3, 2012132 views4 comments

I shot this image in my backyard. The black background came from the shadow in the forest behind the flowers.

As I am not a bird photographer, I used a Nikkor 200-400mm on a tripod with a flash.

Your comments are greatly appreciated,
Best,

Interesting photograph. I like the combination of flowers and the gold finch. I would suggest you try a pano comp by cropping off the tall grasses, I find the image more interesting w/o the top half of the grasses. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting shot! I like it. The bright yellow bird along with the grasses in the foreground really stand out against the dark background. Good one!

A very interesting and pleasing composition, I just wish the bird was out in front of the grasses as the main focal point.

I really like this compostion, and it's great the gold finch is part of it, I just wish the view of the finch was cleaner. You did excellent with what you was given to work with though Andrey.
